چکیده

Much research has been devoted to the use of argumentation to support inter-agent dialogues. Here, we contribute to this line of research by investigating the strategic behaviour of agents in argumentation-based dialogues, using Assumption-BasedArgumentation (ABA) as the underlying framework. We will focus on information-seeking and inquiry dialogues, giving formalisations thereof and showing how they can be supported by specific classes of strategy-move functions for agents to select suitable utterances.

Assumption-Based Argumentation Dialogues

Formal argumentation based dialogue models have attracted some research interests recently. Within this line of research, we propose a formal model for argumentation-based dialogues between agents, using assumption-based argumentation (ABA). Thus, the dialogues amount to conducting an argumentation process in ABA. The model is given in terms of ABA-specific utterances, debate trees and forests ...

Mechanism Design for Argumentation-Based Information-Seeking and Inquiry

Formal argumentation-based dialogue systems have attracted considerable research interest in the past. Most research in this area introduce “dialectical wrappers” over argumentation formalisms to model verbal interactions amongst agents, resulting in different dialogue models for different types of dialogues, e.g. inquiry or persuasion. In this work, we take a different approach by deploying a ...

Agent dialogues and argumentation

Agents have different interests and desires. Agents also hold different beliefs and assumptions. To accomplish tasks jointly, agents need to better convey information between each other and facilitate fair negotiations. In this thesis, we investigate agent dialogue systems developed with the Assumption-Based Argumentation (ABA) framework. In our system, agents represent their beliefs and desire...

Information seeking in inquiry-based learning pedagogy: Proposing a preliminary model

Background and Aim: This study attempts to propose a suggestive model for theorising in the field of Inquiry-Based Information Behaviour (IBiB). Method: To achieve the research aim, Piaget’s Cognitive Development Theory, Dewey’s Constructivist Theory, as well as IBL Pedagogy were analysed. Taking into account the current information behaviour models and theories which are developed based on th...

A First Step towards Argumentation Dialogues for Discovery

We present a formal model for two-agent discovery dialogues. The model allows agents to collectively discover a realization for a shared goal, using argumentation dialogues to exchange information. This information is in the form of rules, assumptions, and contraries of assumptions as in Assumption-based Argumentation (ABA). With dialogues, agents jointly build arguments and construct shared AB...
